Baskerville font changes when exporting from Word using Acrobat PDFMaker

Hey,

When I export using the Acrobat Word plugin (not the export to PDF Word native function), my Baskerville font changes pretty substantially.

The first is in Word, the second is in Adobe. The second is much more pixelated. Any sense of why? I exported using Press Quality.

It would help us greatly to assist you if you provided the following:

(1)     Information as to platform (Windows or MacOS), version of Microsoft Word, and version of Acrobat.

(2)     Posted copies of the above sample document as well as the PDF files (both from Microsoft and PDFMaker). You can't post attachments here, but you could point us to where you have posted the files online. (Hint: Acrobat provides a mechanism for posting files).

(3)     Information as to exactly which “Baskerville” font you are using. Type 1, TrueType, OpenType CFF?

I got your files (see attached), but both the files match in layout exactly. And the original Word document is not formatted with Baskerville, but rather with Microsoft's Georgia font. Perhaps you uploaded the wrong files?!?!?!?
